They've done it! England's number four seeds Gabby Adcock and Lauren Smith need just the one opportunity to make sure, winning 21-13 17-21 21-18 in one hour and 14 minutes. That was a classic and worthy of being a medal match.

There are plenty of glum Scottish faces around the arena, none more so than the miserable expressions slapped across the chops of Imogen Bankier and Kirsty Gilmour. Even the Fratellis' feel-good anthem of Chelsea Dagger booming out cannot cheer them.

"Greg Rutherford proved his critics wrong this evening. 2013 was a rough year for him and he's come through and delivered. I think tonight he was as happy with his gold medal as he was at London 2012. He's running well, jumping well but is mentally in the right place which is the most important thing."

Adopted Scot Viorel Etko says he is the proudest man in Glasgow after delivering the host nation's first wrestling Commonwealth Games medal in 20 years with bronze in the 61kgs.

The 36-year-old was born in Moldova before leaving to pursue his athletic career first in Romania, then London in 1998, where he waited on tables and laboured on building sites before heading north of the border, eventually settling down to marry gymnast Laura Davies.

He said: "I am probably the proudest parent here, because I have my nine-year-old son Leon watching. I wanted to give him and all the other little kids a gift, all who are future Scottish athletes.

"I am fortunate to be the person who has done this. I thought I could make some history in Scottish wrestling."

Women's heptathlon 800m

British hopes in the women's heptathlon were pinned on Olympic champion Jessica Ennis-Hill. Then, she decided to have a baby instead (fair enough). So hopes switched to England colleague Katarina Johnson-Thompson. She had to pull out through injury.

That leaves Canada's Brianne Thiesen-Eaton as the champion elect. She basically needs to stroll around the track twice in a half-decent time to grab the gold. They're off.

"Northern Ireland have only won two medals so far at this year's Games but their boxers have already guaranteed themselves seven, with two more to fight in quarter-finals this evening. Whatever way you look at it, that is a remarkable tally. When asked how many golds his team would win, two-time Olympic light-flyweight bronze medallist Paddy Barnes shot back: 'Nine'."

Nope, the decibel level goes up as Scotland's kilt-wearing Mark Dry collects his bronze medal for his performance in the men's hammer throw. He's loving his moment in the limelight - winking at the camera and upper cutting the Glasgow air in delight - and rightly so.
